alfredo helsby oleo sobre tela atardecer Baston Two polychrome terracotta figuresOil on wood by the Chilean painter Alfredo Helsby (1862 1933), depicting a landscape of shrubs against a backdrop of sky. The work features an impressive and subtle use of light, characteristic of the artist's style, which draws on Impressionism and departs from rigorous representation. The painting is framed in wood, carved in steps and adorned with a thin band decorated with reliefs. The frame is finished in gold. Dimensions: Frame 57 x 7 x 49 cm
